  • Is there a manual removal tool for Sophos AutoUpdater?  I need to reinstall Sophos on several machines due to updater files being deleted and can't seem to do so.  I tried to uninstall all the apps via add/remove programs after stopping the Sophos services, but Sophos AutoUpdater fails every time I try to uninstall 25010 "WaitingUntilFileUnlocked".

    I've got around 40 machines with this issue right now and need some help so I can reinstall Sophos onto them and get them working properly.  Ideally I'd like a removal tool I can script and then I can use the console to reinstall.  Thanks.
